Koh Phi Phi ThailandA Paradise for All

Koh
Phi Phi Thailand is perhaps one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The
word Koh means island in Thai and there actually two islands by that name Koh
Phi Phi Don where Long Beach is located, and Koh Phi Phi Leh, which is smaller
and only accessible by tour or chartered fishing boat.

It is
located between the larger island of Phuket and western Andaman Sea coast of
the mainland. The islands are administratively part of Krabi province. Their claim to fame was when the British and
Americans filmed the 2000 movie “The Beach” in Koh Phi Phi Leh. This of course,
helped increase tourism to the islands.

But
unfortunately the infrastructure of the islands was almost totally destroyed by
the Indian Ocean Tsunami in December 2004. By now, it is almost totally
restored.

Getting
to Koh Phi Phi

You
may get there from Krabi or Phuket Island via ferry that leaves several times a

The
months from November to January are the best. During this time the skies are
blue the humidity is low and the waters are calm and clean great for swimming
or snorkeling and scuba diving. It doesn’t mean you should not go from May to
September, but take into consideration the rains, cloudy skies and extreme
humidity.

Phi
Phi Island is Thailand's favorite island. It is the talk of the town while in
Thailand. Many people come to Phuket just with Koh Phi Phi in their minds. When
you approach by ferry, the island seems to rise from the sea like a fortress
with high cliffs that give way to lush vegetation and beautiful white sand beaches.

One
of the two islands Phi Phi Leh is completely uninhabited and the other Phi Phi
Don doesn’t even have roads. The laid back atmosphere is what brings the
visitors to its shores. There's no schedule, no hustle-and-bustle, no reason to
be in a hurry. Besides, the island is affordable, there is a place to stay for
every budget.

All the beaches
on the Island are spectacular and amazingly beautiful. The sands are silky soft
and the waters are a sparkling blue not seen in many more places in the world.
In Ko Phi Phi Don, the main island offers excellent restaurants, bars and
shops; as well as a few resorts hotels for all budgets.

The tropical
beaches of Ko Phi Phi Don are located on the eastern and southern shores of the
island. Let me mention a few of them
